CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 8:43. Present were Penny Betz, Chair; Ginger Saleski, Treasurer; Kelly Taylor, Library Director; and Claire Costin, Secretary. Minutes of the November meeting were corrected and approved. The next meeting will be on January 11, 2010.
REPORTS
Ginger reported the check book balance $1,087.63. The money market balance $7,270.40. She will clarify whether these accounts are kept separate from the Town’s. Kelly will ask about the Fairpoint account.
LIBRARY DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Kelly reported that the laptop and scanners are up and working. She said that paperbacks are difficult to barcode, and asked whether we should stop accepting them.
In relation to the recruitment of a new assistant, Kelly has received three applications, and will interview and begin processing the paperwork with Pat Putnam, Administrative Assistant.
Kelly will investigate how to change the due date, purchasing a receipt printer and how to handle fines.
The library will be closed over the holiday, December 22 through the 29th and open again on January 3, 2010. (This is noted on the Community Calendar.)
The next training for InterLibrary Loan will be in January. Kelly will attend.
ACTION ITEMS
There were no monetary gifts received; therefore no motions to accept required.
It was voted and agreed upon that the small gifts presently on the books totaling $110. would be combined and spent for DVDs.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Kelly will get a gift certificate to be charged to the Maintenance account to show appreciation for work done for the library by Frank Stuckey. Also, a gift certificate for Gae Borlund for covering books.
Penny will be away from December 20 – 26 and will not be covering the InterLibrary Loan.
The rodent problem has been partially solved by Ed Saleski’s repairing of one area and we think we have it contained , but a permanent solution should be scheduled for the spring.
NEW BUSINESS
Kelly will be in touch with Jim Coffee, Town Administrator, to find out when the Budget Committee will need our budget information for 2011. Built into the budget will be an increase in hours for the Library Director. Also, we may need a QuickBooks program.
It was agreed that we should encourage the Friends to “advertise” what’s new at the library, i.e. InterLibrary Loan, Kindle, etc.
The meeting adjourned at 10:ll, after which Kelly gave a demonstration of the use of the scanner.
Respectfully submitted, Claire Costin, Secretary
